“Rittmeyer received a $5.5 million settlement from the
school.”

If he recants, I guess he’ll be happy to return that $5.5 million plus interest.

"Over the years I have brought 15 serious issues before Pennsylvania's courts, each one showing I deserve a new trial," Sandusky said in a voice recording provided to ESPN by Parlato. "Every one was swatted down. I have no faith this one would be treated differently, no matter how compelling the evidence. In federal court, every one of those issues can be heard together by judges who have not already made up their minds about me... I need to get there as fast as possible."
"I am 82 years old. I am innocent. I intend to be alive when the truth is heard."

PA has an elected judiciary. They are politicians first, and jurists second. That is sad truth. Sandusky may get a fairer judge in federal court. It's a crap shoot who the judge is. I've always thought accusations against Sandusky were motivated by a big pay day from the university, which had political pressure put on it to settle claims regardless of how dubious. This guy got a couple of million from Penn State despite writing an affidavit that he was the kid in the shower that McQueary saw with Sandusky no abuse happened. They just had a wet towel fight. The attorneys who brought that claim and hid this guy during the trial should be disbarred.
